    2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Pre-Purchase Questions

    Perhaps a dealer add on, has a rear Dana 44 but not a front Dana 44 (it has a Dana 30) and note sure on transfer case, had a good look at this TJ this morning and compared the build sheet with the 2002 Dealer brochure and noted that the extras are also Sahara options for that year so defintely...

    2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Pre-Purchase Questions

    Thanks for sharing, note: LJs or Unlimited TJ's are rare here, with one authentic LJ Rubicon sold within hours of it being advertised. I know the local dealer had local editions, especially when they were driving promotional sales, so wonder if this was a local dealer version. Most of the...

    2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Pre-Purchase Questions

    Has anyone seen this Rubicon badge mounted on the cover under a TJ Wrangler's steering wheel I have seen these installed on a few ' Rubicon' claimed TJs here in the United Arab Emirates but the build sheets refer to Sahara - and wonder if there was an export variant? Any information welcome

    Spark Plugs in Heater Hoses ! Strange but true!

    My head is still spinning as I was investigating how bad my heater was blocked as no heat was coming from the unit when turned on and when feeling the heater hoses at the water pump / engine end they were hot but not at the heater core connection - I assumed that the heater core was blocked and...

Yes the 04 center bezel does not exactly fit at...

    Brake Booster Vacuum Valve Replacement (TJ / XJ)

    @mrblaine thanks - I don't know enough as to the design or technical specifications as to why one may be different to another except by guessing the inner chamber may regulate the pressure to different specifications - the inwards and outwards outlets on the check valve appear identical as does...

    What brand of brake booster should I go with?

    I saw online a popular modification on TJs and XJs is upgrading the brakes from a WJ, etc. does that mean you also have to upgrade the master cylinder and brake booster?

    Brake Booster Vacuum Valve Replacement (TJ / XJ)

    Hi Charles, I used the part numbers from the charts parts manuals online as yes they all appear the same. Then I completed online searches for these parts and they did not appear to have listings of what other Jeeps they fit (i.e. the TJ part number did not list compatibility with XJ and vice...

    Situation - When I engage 4WD High - the indicator icon on the Dash display lights up (turns on) but when I engage 4WD Low the icon remains the same.
